Climate change made LA fires worse, scientists say
Climate change was a major factor behind the hot, dry weather that gave rise to the devastating LA fires, a scientific study has confirmed. It made those weather conditions about 35% more likely, according to World Weather Attribution - globally recognised for their studies linking extreme weather to climate change.

LA wildfires: Did climate change make them worse?
The extremely hot, dry and windy conditions that drove the destructive LA fires were likely due to global heating, a new weather attribution study found. Hotter temperatures will further amplify wildfire damage.

Climate change made LA fires far more likely, study shows
Human-caused climate change made the Los Angeles-area fires more likely and more destructive, according to a study out Tuesday. Why it matters: The study — from an international group of 32 climate researchers — shows how climate change fits into the myriad factors that made the multiple blazes one of California's most destructive and expensive wildfire disasters on record.
